What is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)?
As we grow older, our natural hormone levels—such as estrogen and testosterone—begin to decline. Because hormones play a vital role in regulating the brain, heart, bones, reproductive system, and more, even small imbalances can lead to frustrating symptoms.
BHRT uses plant-derived, compounded hormones that are structurally identical to the hormones your body produces naturally. This allows your body to recognize and use them in the same way, helping restore balance and reduce symptoms like fatigue, mood swings, low sex drive, or difficulty sleeping.
How the Biote Method Works
The Biote Method is built around precision, personalization, and simplicity. Dr. Stearman will place tiny hormone pellets—about the size of a grain of rice—just under the skin in a quick, in-office procedure.
- The pellets slowly dissolve over time, releasing a steady stream of hormones into your bloodstream.
- Most patients need a new insertion only every 3–5 months.
- As the pellets are absorbed, they leave nothing behind.
This steady delivery system helps the body maintain optimal hormone levels without the daily fluctuations of pills or creams.
Why Hormone Balance Matters
Hormones control many of the body’s most important processes. Imbalances can affect energy, mood, weight, sleep, sexual health, and overall wellbeing.
- For women: Menopause often leads to a sharp drop in estrogen and testosterone, contributing to hot flashes, night sweats, irritability, brain fog, vaginal dryness, and decreased bone mass.
Even minor disruptions in hormone levels can have a significant impact on daily life—making optimization an important part of long-term health.
Common Symptoms of Hormone Imbalance
Women may experience:
- Hot flashes and night sweats
- Fatigue or brain fog
- Mood swings, irritability, or anxiety
- Low sex drive or discomfort during intercourse
- Sleep disturbances
- Weight gain or decreased bone density
